The hotel room is well-lit, and Xia De can clearly see that the center of the emblem is a rectangle, and above the rectangle is a pointed hat, and a face is outlined with three lines on the pointed hat:
"What's this?"
Miss Anat explained quickly:
"I got new clues from the doctor. Didn't the doctor have been collecting information last week? Since someone can know the location of the ruins, naturally someone has entered there. This is a pattern found in the ruins. I have not been able to find out what it is What, I didn't expect Iluna to know her."
Miss Bayas smiled reservedly, and explained to Xia De:
"I just thought of it when I was waiting for you. This is the holy emblem of the fallen old **** [Innocent Creator]. During the basic knowledge training of ring warlocks in the Orthodox Church, you can identify the holy emblem of the old gods. But it is an important test subject. This **** is not well-known, so even if I got 91 points out of 100, I just thought of it."
The last words of the young girl seemed to be praising herself.
"The Old Gods...the Creator of Innocence?"
Xia De looked at the holy emblem, and the image of the **** suddenly jumping out and saying "surprise" appeared in his head:
"It's not surprising. So, the underground ruins are..."
"What remains of his followers."
Miss Anat said with certainty, and asked Shadela to sit down first:
"This old **** fell in the early fifth era, but his believers didn't disappear until the sixth era. They firmly believed that the **** would return. Just like what Iluna said, the records about this **** Very few, He is not powerful, and his followers are not keen on preaching. Judging from the time point, both Iluna and I believe that Tobesk’s underground ruins are very likely to be the last of the old **** [Innocent Creator] A group of believers left behind."
Shad nodded, and Miss Bayas added:
"In other words, apart from the sage-level relic inside the ruins, it is very likely that most of the property and all the secrets held by a disappeared old **** order are hidden."
Xia De turned his head to look in the direction of Nock Printing Factory in the night outside the window:
"What else?"
"It's hard to say, it's time to go now."
Xia De checked the pocket watches for the two ladies for the last time, and the three of them briefly dictated the action plan and precautions again, and then burned all the notes and documents in the room before leaving the hotel.
The street where Nock's printing house is located is called Marlton Market Street, and after a day of rain, the street is full of mud. The time has come to the night, and after the fog has flooded the streets again, tonight does not seem to be a good time to travel.
Wearing a long skirt and glasses, Miss Anat appeared on the side of the street at this moment with a tired face. She hurried to the outside of the printing factory, but because it was already off-duty time, the iron gate of the printing factory yard was closed.
After a few light knocks, a small window opened on the iron door, and a man stood impatiently behind the door:
"Who is it? We're off work."
"I'm Alina Fick. I ordered a batch of business cards from you a few days ago."
The tired woman with short brown hair said, with the same impatience in her tone:
"Can you give me those business cards now? I know you're off work, but I'm in a hurry to use them."
The man looking out from behind the door showed an unhappy expression, but nodded:
"Yes ma'am, please wait."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the tallest building in the yard, which was the office building of Nock Printing Factory.
He left without closing the small window on the iron door, so Miss Anat had a chance to look inside.
After confirming the situation in the yard, Miss Anat took out something from her handbag and held it in her hand just like she did during the daytime investigation.
And the man who went to pick up the printed matter also came back quickly carrying the cardboard box. The small window on the iron door couldn't let the cardboard box pass through, so he carried an extra bunch of keys.
After opening the door, Miss Anat didn't take the carton immediately. She looked down at the muddy ground, so the man also lowered his head holding the box. The gas lamps in this street are not very bright, and there is no light in the yard of the printing factory:
"Is there anything on the ground?"
the man asked suspiciously.
"nothing."
While Miss Anat was talking, she suddenly stretched out her hand, and patted the thing in her hand on the man's forehead:
"Thaumaturgy-Mind Puppet!"
On the piece of paper held in his hand, ancient runes were outlined in bright red ink. The rune was slapped on the man's forehead by Miss Anat, and at the moment when the thaumaturgy took effect, a strange red light shone, as if it was directly engraved on the man's head.
The man widened his eyes and wanted to shout, but those rays of light appeared in his pupils at this moment, and then what was reflected in his eyes was no longer the woman in front of him, but the rune on his forehead.
His expression became dull:
"Ma'am, here is your cargo."
"Thank you, put it on the clean ground here, and someone will pick me up later."
Miss Anat said, and the men did the same. After the two greeted each other politely, he re-locked the iron door inside, and walked normally to the building where only the lights on the second floor were on.
"very smooth."
After a long enough distance, they turned into a narrow alley with no street lights.
Miss Anat immediately closed her eyes, and Miss Bayas, who was hiding here waiting for the two of them, supported her.
The female fortune-teller held a puppet bound by white strings in her hand. The puppet was rough in workmanship, not even as big as a palm. The red runes on the head were flashing:
"The opponent is a one-ring warlock, I can only control him for twenty minutes, after which I will let him fall into a deep sleep..."
Her eyes kept rolling under her closed eyelids, and her voice was very low:
"Silver pupils don't even trust most of the people in their organization, so not many people know this address. After the Blood of Mercury organization broke up and hid in the city, the manpower here was also reduced.
There should be 7 people keeping watch here at night, four of them are ring warlocks... I saw two watchmen on the first floor... He was struggling, trying to get out of control, no problem, not caught Found an anomaly, but then he might have a problem with his head, but it's none of my business...
The situation on the second floor is fine, there are only two rooms with lights on, and one of them is a ring technique. I was saying hello to them, and then the third floor... unable to go to the third floor, he was afraid, what should the people living on the third floor do to him. "
Miss Anat closed her eyes tightly and frowned. It took a while to open her eyes. When she let out a long breath, her forehead was already covered with sweat:
"No problem, I asked him to return to the first floor and told the other two that he would take a rest."
"Are you sure you won't wake up?"
Miss Bayas asked, still supporting Miss Anat, but the latter seemed to have recovered, and she showed them the puppet whose head was about to be torn off:
"I will definitely not wake up within three days, and I will become a fool when I wake up after three days, and I will not remember my face."
"Have you determined the location of the four ring warlocks?"
Xia De also asked, and the three walked to the depths of the alley together.
"The one on the first floor is 'asleep' now, the one on the second floor should be the third or fourth ring, reading a knight novel. The third floor didn't go up, judging from the emotional reaction, it should be a very strong ring warlock. There is another I didn’t see it, but according to the doctor’s information, they should be guarding the gate of the ruins they excavated in the basement, and the level of that person is completely unknown.”
"It's already very good. It's impossible to know everything at once."
Xia De nodded, the first step of the operation went smoothly.
He took out the relic [Bordeaux Candle] from his pocket:
"Go into the printing shop."
"Are you sure you want to use this candle now? My spells can also achieve invisibility when combined with alchemy items."
Miss Bayas asked in a low voice, tonight this young girl is wearing a close-fitting white shirt with flared sleeves, a row of dark gold buttons on the chest, her waist is gathered inward, and there are lace patterns on the collar and hem decorate. The lower body is wearing black women's trousers, which are relatively fashionable in this era, because trousers are easier to move than skirts.
Her long hair was **** and coiled behind her head, exposing her ears, and she looked extremely capable.
Xia De nodded:
"Use it now. This relic is a consumable, but you can't cherish it too much. Tonight's goal is to make you the chosen one, no matter what the price is."
The three of them continued to walk inward along the alley. Under the leadership of Miss Anat, they kept choosing forks in the road, and finally came to the alley outside the east side of the courtyard wall of the printing factory.
Telling Xia De and Miss Bayas to step back, Miss Anat carefully tossed a coin. After confirming the front and back under the faint moonlight, he nodded to the two behind him:
"Divination shows that it is safe to move now."
Xia De chanted the mantra and threw away the frog leg in his hand, then narrowed his eyes slightly while holding the candle, and the flame immediately ignited the candle head. He disappeared before the eyes of Miss Bayas and Miss Anat, and the two ladies also waited quietly under the wall.
Five seconds later, Xia De snuffed out the light of the candle with his hand, and appeared under the wall:
"No problem, I jumped up and looked into the yard just now, no one is walking inside, but be careful of those hounds."
"use this."
Miss Bayarth took out a small cloth bag and told the others to sprinkle the powder on them. The powder inside is also a kind of alchemy product, which can isolate the smell for a short time, and is a standard material for church ring warlocks.
Shad held the candle that was lit again, and Miss Anat and Miss Bayas tightly hugged his arms from left to right:
"get ready!"
He bent down slightly ~www.mtlnovel.com~ took a breath and jumped up suddenly. The weight of the two ladies dragged him, but they still jumped into the air, and then they climbed over the wall lightly and fell safely into the courtyard.
As soon as the feet hit the ground, something invisible like the wind suddenly jumped up from the ground. And Miss Anat immediately shook the silver bracelet on her wrist:
"Stop!"
She scolded, and the security measures arranged in the yard became invalid under the effect of this borrowed relic.
The use of the relic caused Shade to extinguish the candle in Shade's hand, but he lit the candle immediately afterward, and did not arouse any ideas during this period.
"Quick~"
Miss Anat urged, she and Miss Bayas pulled Shade's clothes, and Shade led them through the yard into the mansion.
Overhead, the moon, silver, red and yellow, was gradually being obscured by drifting dark clouds. Tonight was a sleepless night for Xia De.
